Even though Zipper Interactive is busy working on SOCOM 4 (and adding PlayStation Move support to boot!), they’re still hard at work making MAG the best 256-player FPS that it can be. Even though an update was recently released on the 12th, yet another update, 1.04A is ready for deployment and has some substantial improvements.
Even back during the Beta phase for MAG, fans complained that the S.V.E.R. faction had an unfair advantage with in the Sabotage mode. The Syr Daria Uplink will no longer have a clear advantage for S.V.E.R. soldiers as things have changed. Check out the updates below.
